JEROME ANG HOLIDAY 2011

May vision talaga lola mo eh. Direk Cata calls him a "simple girl with an evil plan." Muwahahahahaha. Ehem. Pero yes, Jerome is sooooo unassuming: soft spoken, easy smile, very friendly.. and then BAM! he comes up with this collection that totally blows me away. I mean, Jerome has always been a favorite. Even way, way before when I was still doing the rounds of shows as a broadsheet writer (doing reviews) and not as a Fashion Editor. And if there's one thing Jerome has been doing right, its been churning out amazing clothes, CONSISTENTLY. That says a lot about his devotion to the craft. Obvious in each and every piece.

Anyhoo, my runway photos are crap. As en. But I wanted to show you how he styled the clothes. Prosthetics on the models faces and bright red buns as hair. His whole concept was of an ugly girl and the feeling of being alienated. But I think with these collection, disconnection is the farthest thing on any fashion savants head. So yes, runway photos are blurry as hell, so the back up plan will have to do. Ultra close up detail shots of the clothes backstage. Its a whopping 38 photos. Thats a lot considering i only put about 10-15 photos per post. But then you have to see each and every piece... its watcha call drool and covet. Enjoy.
